OppositeSexMarriage.com -- Opposite Sex Marriage

In a stunning 5-4
decision, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that gay and lesbian
couples may no longer be denied the right to marry.

And it’s about
time; on this issue, we are on now on the right side of history.

Whether you agree
or not with SCOTUS and advocates of marriage equality, with this ruling, the
nomenclature of language will shift; for years, we referred to the possibility
of a union between a man and a man and a woman and a woman as “same-sex
marriage”; and, now – at least for a time – we need to add an adjective to a union
between a man and a woman: “Opposite-sex marriage.” I suspect that those unhappy
with the decision will use this term to differentiate; advocates, on the other
hand, are likely to embrace the word “marriage” as all-inclusive – sooner
rather than later.

At some point, I
would hope that we would all get past the “adjectives” and simply define “marriage”
as a union between two consenting adults. Period.

But I am a
realist and recognize that this will take time.

The term “opposite-sex
marriage,” while not perfect, is descriptive and does not judge (like “traditional
marriage”), one way or another: this term simply explains.
